Living in Leuven
If you want to get a headstart, we can recommend having a look at our "Living in Leuven" city guide for students on the Student Life webpage. It will answer most (if not all) questions you may have about student services, cost of living, transport, etc.
Also "Life at KU Leuven" provides useful information in a nutshell.
